Lundaspelen Basketball – More Than a Game

Lundaspelen Basketball is one of Europe’s premier youth tournaments, designed not only to showcase talent but to  nurture the development of young athletes. Every January 2 nd-5 th, the city of Lund, Sweden, becomes a dynamic training ground where players from across the globe gather to grow, compete, and connect through the game they love.

Since 1979, Lundaspelen has welcomed thousands of teams , offering a unique environment that blends high-level competition with personal and athletic growth. With  age categories from U11 to U23 , the tournament provides a structured pathway for players at different stages of their development, helping them gain experience, confidence, and international exposure. 

Games are played in  more than 20 arenas across Lund, and in recent years, we've hosted  over 450 teams. Teams stay in  school accommodations in central Lund or nearby hotels , with  local buses providing easy access  to all venues and schools. We ensure a supportive and professional setting, with  nutritious meals served in school canteens  and  top-tier referees, including many matches officiated by  three referees to maintain high standards and fairness.

To make the experience even more accessible,  all games are streamed live, allowing friends, families, and fans around the world to follow the action. We also invest heavily in our  social media coverage, sharing highlights, interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments to showcase the full spirit of the tournament.

The week culminates in our  Finals Day at Idrottshallen – a thrilling celebration of youth basketball, where packed stands and electric energy make every moment unforgettable. At Lundaspelen, we believe that basketball is a tool for growth—on the court and beyond.
